Not really a reference book, but a fun collection of stories from famous pipers, is A Piper's Tale by Fergus Muirhead.
I've also been interested in is Bill Livingstone's memoirs - which I've somehow managed to not nab a copy of yet.
Dance to the Piper is a great book, can certainly second that volume.
A great novel I've read which heavily features piping is The Big Music, by Kirsty Gunn. It isn't a bagpipe book, per se, but it's nice to see a novel which talks about our music.
Out of print, but if you can find a copy at a library The Highland Bagpipe: Music, History, Tradition by Joshua Dickson is a good survey of history, musicology, material culture, and biography of the Scottish bagpipes. You can get it for Kindle for $150, but that price is quite steep!
